(a) Preferential right-of-way may be indicated by stop
signs or yield signs as authorized in W.S. 31-5-503.
(b) Except when directed to proceed by a police officer,
every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop at
a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the
crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then
at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver
has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway
before entering it. After having stopped the driver shall yield
the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or
approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an
immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving
across or within the intersection or junction of roadways. The
driver shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within an
adjacent crosswalk.
(c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall
in obedience to the sign slow down to a speed reasonable for the
existing conditions and, if required for safety to stop, shall
stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering
the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none,
then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the
driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting
roadway before entering it. After slowing or stopping, the
driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the
intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to
constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is
moving across or within the intersection or junction of
roadways. The driver shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
within an adjacent crosswalk. If the driver is involved in a
collision with a pedestrian in a crosswalk or a vehicle in the
intersection or junction of roadways, after driving past a yield
sign without stopping, the collision shall be deemed prima facie
evidence of his failure to yield the right-of-way.
